Buyers enchanted by colour scheme

RED is the colour of love and for some buyers this impressive Bella Vista mansion with its striking red interior hit at their heart strings.

The architect-designed triple level residence at 12 Bimbadgen Place sold after one week on the market for $2.75m.

Agent Gary Thind from Starr Partners Bella Vista, who sold the same property just over three years ago, said there was strong interest in the home although not everyone felt a connection to its bold colour scheme.

The spiral staircase with red carpet – just one of its red themed elements

The residence features a spiral staircase with red carpet, red glass splashback in the kitchen, red feature wall in the lounge room and an upstairs bathroom with red marble vanity.

“It is a grand looking home and when you come in — you can see it is very different to other homes with its open plan design, formal dining and the sunken lounge,’’ Mr Thind said.

“Some people loved the red and others didn’t — they thought it was too reddish — everybody has a different taste and background but we had three groups interested.’’

The property, located in the prestigious Bella Vista Waters Estate, was purchased by a local family looking to upgrade.

Three of the home’s four bathrooms have spa baths — including the spacious master bedroom. A covered upstairs sunroom has been converted into a large gymnasium, which can be accessed by three bedrooms.

The mansion has a red feature wall

The home has detailed ceilings with feature lighting, games room and formal dining area with its own wet bar and a built-in fish tank. It also has a purpose-built home cinema.

But it is not all red, with one of the bedroom and its ensuite decorated in blue tones.

According to CoreLogic RP Data, the 701 sqm property is now the most expensive in Bimbadgen Place, beating the previous highest sale of $2.5m paid for a neighbouring home in May 2016.

It increased its value by $815,000 having last sold for $1.935m in November 2014.

Latest figures shows there were 78 house sales in Bella Vista in the 12 months ending in December pushing its median house price up 17 per cent to $1.75m. The quarterly figures remained strong with 2.7 per cent growth. Homes in the Bella Vista are typically being held for just over 11 years.

Mr Thind said there was still strong buyer demand in the suburb with prices still being achieved.

Other recent sales in suburb include 65 Brighton Drive which sold for $2.72m; 18 Ravenswood Rise which sold for $2.3m and 10 Wardington Rise which sold for $2.22m.
